I have left the following comment on the blog... "However, the GPL means that people cannot realistically use SAGE in a commercial tool, either as a platform/runtime, or as an embedded component."
What it is the justification for this claim? Why wouldn't the GPL allow one to use SAGE as a "commercial tool"? I think that a GPL program like Sage might well have commercial applications. For instance: you could use Sage for modelling an industrial process. There is nothing in the GPL against that.
